Economy and WAISTS.

Most farmers may claim to be
economical, and doubtless they
think they are; but when one comes
to think of the vast amount of
money invested in machinery which
goes to ruin every year simply be-
cause of lack of proper care, he
must conclude that, no matter how
economical the average farmer is, in
some respects, in others he is reck-
lessly wasteful.
Go through any neighborhood
and you will see plows and harrows
and cultivators standing in the
field where they were last used. All
through our western country, you
will see reapers, mowers, and
threshing machines left out of
doors all winter. Wagons seldom
have shelter. Any one who has
ever looked into the matter knows
that exposure to the elements does
more to spoil machine than all che
wear it gets in doing its work. 1t
seems strange that Woodworking
men, men who pride themselves on
their prudence and economy, will
allow so much valuable property to
go to waste because of neglect and
carelessness. 1t is that, and net ig
norance, which brings about sc
much damage to farm machinery
yearly.
| Every farmer should have shed
at least-a building enclosed on al
sides would be better-under which
to store machinery when not in use
| He should make it point to have
everything brought to this shelter
1t will not only be protected in 1
great degree from the weather, bu
it will be where he "knows wher'
it is" when he wants to use it. !
he will treat. the woodwork to
coat of paint occasionally, and g
over the metal parts with oil, b
will be investing money and labo
to most excellent advantage. 1
this way he can save enough on hi
, machinery, in one year, to pay for
{ good shed.

Some three years ago superb
ran CHI in California was purchased
for $4,000, about two-thirds of the
price being paid down. The buyer
at that time owned a snug tract of
800 acres worth 500 an acre.
Three poor years followed, and a
few weeks ago the property was
forfeited, having become an intoler-
able burden to its proprietor. With
it, also, went the snug farm which
gave him a good living when the
craze for more land got the better
of him. There are many cases OF
this kind, not only in California but
in other western states and terrific
ries. In the same neighborhood in
which the above mentioned trans
action took place is tract of 1000
acres owned by a syndicate. II
could have seen sold four years age
for $4,000, but was held for rise
The interest for this period amount:
to $44,800, and there are no pur
chasers. The shrewd business mel
who owned the tract have realized
about two per cent; and they &c
no sympathy. The land grabber
for speculation are worse foes to tn
agricultural interest than the simp
ly acre greedy. Yet both classe
are bare. The man who thor
oughly works just what land he ca
comfortably handle is the ideal pro
prietor. He is the most indepeuden
man on earth and is benefit to tn
! community whore he lives.

A NeWspaper FriuGa.

Perhaps Jas. Gordon Bennett
has one of the greatest newspaper
properties in the world. Its edito-
rial chair is worth more to man
of ambition than the presidency.
He is an American, or should be:
yet he lives constantly in Europe.
A town house in Paris and a coun-
try seat just outside of the city are
all his, but he rarely lives there.
He has one of the SWEETEST Yachts
in the world. 1t is boat of seven
hundred tons burden, almost as
large as any of the old style Gu
nsrders. 1t takes a crew of fifty
men to run it, with six walters to
serve the tables for Bennett and his
guests. A friend, who has just re-
turned from Europe and has been
cruising on Mr.. Benefits boat,
said that life on his craft was q
dream. A French cook furnished
the finest eating and an Attorney
cow is carried in zinc stall on the
boat, so that the choicest fresh
milk could be had at every meal
The daily life was an ms piration
In the morning coffee and fruit
were served in the state-rooms be-
fore the people arose. Then a bath
where a servant was furnished who
rubbed the guests down with the
choicest of Turkish towels. Their
marmalade and sweets, and about
o'clock a breakfast in eleoan
shape. Dinner in the evening, will
all the surroundings that woull
tend to make a man satisfied will

sees the world. He is everywher
recognized as a man Of strong tai
ents and sterling exec ltive ability

Killed at the Altar,

Du ing Vic luIl anu C0CIbC-
ment of the late war one of the sad
est incidents that occurred was the
marriage and death Of Annie, eldest
daughter of Gov. Pickens of South
Carolina. In the midst of the
great events of the war such TRACE
dies were comparatively unnoticed,
but now that time has Gained the
troubled sea of life and contention,
picture of that scene will be of
general interest, and will awaken q
cord OF sympathy in the hearts Of
all who read it.
On April %, 1868, in Charleston,
South Carolina, at the residence OF
Gov. Pickens, party was assemb-
led to witness the marriage ceremo
nv of Miss Annie Pickens to Lieut..
LIE Rochelle.
1t was q time when terror and an
guish were prevailing throughout
the entire south, and the booming
of the Union guns then roared in
the harbors, but the little number
| who had collected together had de
termined to smile, even though
their hearts were aching and they
were trem bling with terror. Be
meath the soft light of the chaude-
Ter the clergyman stood with the
habilimcnts of the church en-
shrouding his venerable form. Be
fore him was the noble young lieu
tenant in his official uniform, while
beside him leaned the beautiful ana
stately woman who was to become
his wife. There she stood, regal
and proud, possessing everything
that prestige of birth, rank and
wealth could give. Are you
readyT" asked the minister, IN
clasping his book. YES" SAID
Lieut.. La Rochelle, taking the hand
OF his bride. Scarcely was the an
swer uttered than there was an aw
full crash. A shell from the enc
my's guns had penetrated the man
sion, bursting in the midst OF the
marriage scene and scattering Its
| deadly missiles around. Men trem-
| bled and women screamed, mirrors
were shivered and for a moment
the walls seemed to rock to and fro.
In a few moments quiet reigned
and it was ascertained that the on
| ly fatal wound received was in the
left temple of the waiting bride,
who lay like a beautiful crushed
flower in the arms of her agonlzed
lover. Laying her on a lounge he
bent over her, and, in moan OF de-
spair, prayed that even in death
she would become his wife. Her
quick drawn breath melted in a
sigh as the lips smiled assent
There she lay pure and white as
the cluster of camelias at her
breast, while the crimson life-tide
oozed in heavy drops from the
death wound in her brow and
coursed its stream over the lovely
cheek, marring the snowy clouds of
her bridal veil that enveloped her.
The ceremony was of few words and
the Eyes" was murmured in dying
whisper beneath the husband S kiss.
In a moment all was over; little
! struggle and she was dead.
Beneath the cool, deep shadows
of magnolia Mrs. Annie Pickens
LIE Rochelle was laid to rest, where
the sad wall of the waters sighed
an eternal requiem, while the brave
young Lieut.. LIE Rochelle went his
way in the fire and danger of battle
to serve his country, the "Sunny
South" and his God. He little
feared the sword or the bullet Of
war, for ever at his heart there was
a wound more cruel than death and
lasting as life.

Ruthless Fashion.

There seems to be no limit to the
devastation of fashion. The pro-
cess OF DISCRIMINATING birds of gay
plumage for the decoration OF
cloves of bonnets" has gone so far
that the scientific world has lifted
up both hands in protest. The ele
plant seems destined to become a
curiosity of the past, on account OF
the unsparing greed for ivory
which gives him no chance to perpe
trate his species. The Indian gov
eminent tried to protect him by
stringent season laws, but statutes
are almost powerless against human
avarice. The crocodile bids fair tc
go since his hide is wanted by the
purse makers and shoe makers
There will soon be no bird of para
disc upon the earth, and the os
trich has only escaped through the
thrift of private breeders. The
quagga, the beautiful wild striped
| ass of South Africa, has becom,
extinct because the sportsmen o
London and New York craVed boot:

Says q British writer: Unrefned
sugar has, it is said, been long used
in India as an ingredient of morter
1t was recently pointed out that
sugar cane and lime form q chemi-
cal compound suitable as a cement
Equal quantities of finely powdered
lime of Il common sort and good
brown sugar mixed with water form
mortar which has been found tc
join stone and even glass. The lime
should be thoroughly slaked with all
for if any dry PARTICLES are left they
will ultimately swell and break the
joint. Portland cement can also, 1t
is stated, be improved by the addi-
ton of a little sugar. Sugar is also
mixed with plaster of paris in mod
Iing-an ounce Of sugar to each hall
pint of water. Sugar has recently
been tried in Italy with success as
an anti-incrustator in boilers. Two
kilogrammes of sugar were added to
the water in 20 horsepower Field
tubular boiler with 126 tubes, and
after forty-five days work the boiler
could be cleaned without scraping
it, as the sugar detached the scale.
